You might find some cool sites but there's so much pointless crap. People getting upset over pairings that aren't canon, being furious that their headcanon isn't being treated like canon. Getting facts wrong and blaming people for stuff that isn't even the accused fault. Making blanket statements and stating something sucks without properly explaining why. It's aggravating and I barely go there except to visit the sites that are good. Even then you hear about the frustrating stuff.

I pre-ordered this but I saw it at a book store too. Which really surprised me since I rarely find it there. I couldn't wait to read it and I figured why not support the series a little more. I pre-ordered futures issues so I might not get anymore at the store. Partly because they one seem to get one issue of this series at a time. On to the review.

I thought it was a good topic to discuss and was waiting until the end of her arc to post this. Then I heard people are fuming over the idea of her liking a man. Great timing huh? This deals with past canon and current.

But I'm waiting to see how the new Batman and sister of Damian plot pans out first. Anyway Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) showed up. I kind of knew where this was heading by the solicits but this still had great interactions with the guys.

On another note: If Booster shows up in the next game I hope his super involves throwing his enemy into the timeline and have them get attacked in whatever eras the go through. That would be a lot of fun.

My glass fell and spilled all over my comics. Artemis Requiem is drying but I don't think it's going to be salvageable. I'm still going through the damage but my Rebirth RHATO VOL. 2 trade has a few pages struck together while Year One Wonder Woman trade looks worse off. This really sucks.

You probably can't see it clearly but Tim is wearing a bow tie. If Selina and Bruce got married they might not have the uniforms (I hope not) but I'd want some allusions to their IDs. Even if it's just something like bat cuff links and a cat wedding cake. Something.

The second female character to be made in the Mezco One:12 line. Unlike the other figures she doesn't seem to have any cloth clothing but rather plastic. I feel like the price should go down because of that. But this figure does look awesome.

I gotta admit I've had a lot of questions about this for awhile. I wondered how he existed even though he's legally dead. Why no one outside the superhero community questioned it. Well this was kinda brought up...it just makes me a bit confused. What I like, what I don't like and what I want to see explained.

When I first re-read Red Hood and the Outlaws volume 2 something came to mind within the first two issues. It made me see some clues that supported this idea that was already forming. I might have gotten a little excited over what this could mean. This is a little bit of my thought process for how I came to my conclusion with the clues I found. I think the story was changed near the end since we never get satisfying answers to some parts.

Nrama: This week is the publication of the Rebirth issue, which proceeds August's new Red Hood and the Outlaws#1. How does the Rebirth issue kind of set things up?

Lobdell: Rebirth is a strong start to a new series... and as you read if you'll start to notice just how much is secretly crammed into Rebirth in terms of building the world. There is almost not a panel that doesn't get used somewhere down the line. (Lots of Easter eggs are going to be bringing readers back to the Rebirth issue again and again over the next few months!)

I've only read one issue of Deathstroke and I didn't like Lazarus Contract. That said I don't think that it's right that Christopher Priest got so much hate over it. I don't agree whenever any writer get treated horribly. Should writers be criticized? Of course but for their writing not as people.

Said criticism should be constructive. I understand the need to vent, many of my reviews are done as I'm reading them to capture my gut feelings in the moment. But I also understand that there's more at work than simply one writer especially in a crossover.
